i have not found this to be true. i only hold 2 library cards (my home town and my old home town) but have never been denied access to a library computer. a few places give card holders priority, but thats as far as i have seen it go.
I travel on a regular basis and have to work away from my hotel for very long (but sparse) hours. This leaves me much free time where I wish I could get to a net connection. The solution? Public Libraries. Almost every library in the country even remotely close to a decent sized population will have some sort of internet connection available to patrons, for *FREE* 90% of the time.
youre crazy. i can go from a fresh linux install to having Battlefield Vietnam running in under an hour, including the BFV install. install Point2Play, get latest winex version, install BFV. done.
Some of the TRS-80-era portable PCs were the most rugged computers ever made. I read a story a while back about them still being used in places where people driving things over the PC case was a plausible scenario.
This attitude is part of the car/pedestrian duality that is the bane of better smaller forms of transportation. Bikes and skates and segways and even maybe Toyota PMs absolutely cannot compete with 6000-pound hunks of metal travelling at 45mph down the street, but neither are they welcome on the sidewalk, the traditional realm of the pedestrian. I imagine this is the exact same problem that ensued during the original transition from horse and carriage to automobiles. Getting more space on the street is extremely unlikely, so expect to be sharing half 'your' sidewalk with us smarter non-ped-estrians for the near future at least.

for a music product, point out the CD logo and tell them it doesnt conform to the CD standard. if you feel like it bring a copy of the standard. a copy of the UCC as enacted by your state would be handy as well. gently remind the store of their legal obligations, drop hints about a lawsuit.
It is a little hard to navigate the page, but once you get to the law its actually a lot more straightforward than most legal documents.
Click my link, then click the "Article 2" link. Then click the little + next to 'U.C.C. - ARTICLE 2 - SALES' (the article that covers most of what we are talking about here), and then the + next to 'PART 6.BREACH, REPUDIATION AND EXCUSE'. Now you want to click the " 2-608. Revocation of Acceptance in Whole or in Part." link. Then, in pretty plain english you have:
(1) The buyer may revoke his acceptance of a lot or commercial unit whose non-conformity substantially impairs its value to him if he has accepted it (b) without discovery of such non-conformity if his acceptance was reasonably induced either by the difficulty of discovery before acceptance or by the seller's assurances.
Which, among other things, says that if the claims on the box (which the seller is legally claiming to be true by displaying it) arent true then you can return the product. UT2004 is supposed to have voice recognition (so you can 'talk' to the bots) but it doesnt work in linux, leaving me an easy out if I decide that I dont like the game.
The Uniform Commercial Code is a set of state laws that almost every state has enacted in a pretty similar form. They detail the rights of consumers and merchants when dealing with each other in just about every way.
I would like to add to this that Risk 2210 is a great new version of Risk. The original game mechanics are present, as is the original layout (you can play the original game exactly on this board if you ignore the new stuff), but the idea of bases and leader units has been introduced, as well as a system of cards that can affect each part of the game. Also added are water territories, providing new connections between the continents as well as new 'continents' to control, and the moon which has its own special mechanics.
I will second this. Settlers of Catan is one of the most replayable strategy games that I have played. My circle of friends plays a 3 to 6 player game every weekend, sometimes more than one. The 4-6 player expansion is a must, if only for the extra land tiles. Cities & Knights of Catan is a decent expansion, unfortunately it suffers from a few balance issues. I have not tried the SeaFarers of Catan expansion, but have played with a custom 'mod' ruleset that mimics it (allowing islands, peninsulas, and rivers on the map) and find that to be fun.
glad to see someone else has read the UCC. lemon laws are redundant, the UCC provides just about every right that consumers need. you should see the guys at video game stores when i return games:)
Epiphany should render SVG if you configure the engine with '--enable-svg' before you compile it. Ditto for Mozilla 1.6. That page doesnt say it doesnt support them, it says the support is lacking. Running through the 'official' SVG test suite Mozilla renders almost all of them perfectly.
uhm... no. hydrogen is 1/4 the weight and therefore has ((airdensity)-(heliumdensity))/((airdensity)-(heli umdensity/4)) the buoyancy. In this case the density of air is so much higher that the increase in buoyancy isnt even 25%, let alone the 300% you say.
Not only did you not RTFA, you didnt even RTFSummaryOnSlashdot. The driver will not be an arbitrary 'elsewhere', they will be in *ANOTHER PM*, most likely directly in front of you. Havent you ever been driving and though 'gee, ive been behind this same car for the last 6 hours, why cant they just pull me?' This is a concept already being tested in cargo transportation, where the lead truck in a convoy controls the entire train of vehicles behind it.
I know your target audience cant view them, so they arent an end solution, but JPEG2000 would be very appropriate for storing the initial scanned images. It performs exceptionally well for compressing things like handwriting (lots of distinct changes) that arent 'sharp' enough for great PNG/GIF compression.
hell yes. 7x11 inches will generate upwards of 300F temperatures on a focal area of about 1/8" square. but you will need welding goggles or else you wont be able to look at the dot.

This points out a nice goal. Eventually Wine* will be able to claim better windows compatibility than Windows' latest incarnation has.

Far Cry works great, I play it every day. dunno about the others.
Machines. Its a RTS game originally written for Win95.
Sim City 2000 Network Edition. self explanatory.

yeah, i wanted to go to that but the nearest theater doing it was like 5 hours away

who said that he was american?
looks like that law would make xray (IR really) cams illegal too. so sad

Or you can just use a browser that can support SVG natively.

just gonna take a wild guess here, plastic/glass lenses probably dont focus radio waves (wifi) very well
